Sheridan is the home goods brand of HanesBrands Australia, the only name in that business outside innerwear and intimate apparel, which Hanesbrands sold alongside Bonds, Bras N Things and Berlei. Gildan gained it with Hanesbrands on 1 December 2025 and classed the Australian business as discontinued from that day; in July 2026 it agreed to sell HanesBrands Australia to BBFIT Investments for about A$700 million.
Eight months after buying Hanesbrands, Gildan agreed to sell HanesBrands Australia, the business behind Bonds, Bras N Things, Berlei and Sheridan, to BBFIT Investments Pte Ltd for an enterprise valuation of about A$700 million, and to use the proceeds to repay debt. Gildan already reports the Australian business as a discontinued operation.
Gildan Activewear acquired Hanesbrands, completing the merger on 1 December 2025; each Hanesbrands share was converted into 0.102 Gildan shares and $0.80 in cash. Gildan's annual information form lists the trademarks it gained as Hanes, Bonds, Bali, Maidenform, Sol y Oro, Sheridan, Bras N Things, Playtex, Wonderbra, Berlei, Comfortwash and JMS/Just My Size, and it classified the Australian business behind Bonds, Bras N Things, Berlei and Sheridan as a discontinued operation from the day it closed. Champion was not part of it: Hanesbrands had already sold that brand to Authentic Brands in 2024. Neither company's filing states a single total value for the transaction.
